Is twenty years old too old of a girl for my daughter of 16 to want to "hang out" with?
I think so.. now.. how do I tell her that.
She gets all ticked off at me when I tell her that she is too old for her to be hanging with. This girl is married with two kids and one more on the way. She got pregnentt in her early teens obviously, and I think the influence is terrible. She doesnt do drugs.. or anything like that.. but I feel as if her lifestyle of being pregnent in her teens and now being married looks too easy for my daughter to be deterred from doing the same thing.
My daughter wants to babysit for her and sometimes I let her.. but. Im not comfortable letting her do that either.
There isnt any supervision when she is there.. its whatever my daughter wants to do.
I dont like it.. now how do I tell her that?

im 21 yrs old, and i agree that she is too young to hang out with a 20yr old. i think that the mentality and the experiances are differant, and it does, in a way, make her think teen pregnancy is easy. her lifestyle is inappropriate for your daughter to be in.
as far as you daughter getting ticked... who cares? your the parent . i used to get so mad at my parents when they wouldt let me do things, and now that im older, i realize they were right. sure, i hated them for about a day, but i get over it. its all about the delivery. if you demand that she never see her agin with out explenation, she might do it behind your back. explain to her about your worries speak camly, and since she thinks she an adult, speak to her like one, and she might respect you decision , if you get an attitude from her, remind her that, its not very mature to act that way, and its not how you get what you want.
